Methods in Chemical Process Safety, Volume Two, the latest release in a serial that publishes fully commissioned methods papers across the field of process safety, risk assessment, and management and loss prevention, aims to provide informative, visual and current content that appeals to both researchers and practitioners in process safety. This new release contains unique chapters on offshore safety, offshore platform safety, human factors in offshore operation, marine safety, safety during well drilling and operation, safety during processing (top side), safety during transportation of natural resources (offshore pipeline), and regulatory context

• Helps acquaint the reader/researcher with the fundamentals of process safety
• Provides the most recent advancements and contributions on the topic from a practical point-of-view
• Presents users with the views/opinions of experts in each topic
• Includes a selection of the author(s) of each chapter from among the leading researchers and/or practitioners for each given topic

Faisal I. Khan is a Chemical Engineering Professor and Director of the Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center and the Ocean Energy Safety Institute (OESI), Texas A&M University. He is the founder of the Centre for Risk Integrity and Safety Engineering (C-RISE), a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, the Engineering Institute of Canada, and the Canadian Society of Chemical Engineering. His areas of research interest include offshore safety and risk engineering, inherent safety, risk management, and risk-based integrity assessment and management. Dr. Khan is actively involved with multinational oil and gas industries in addressing safety and asset integrity issues. He also served as the Safety and Risk Advisor to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. He continues to serve as a subject matter expert to many organizations, including Lloyd's Register EMEA, SBM Modco, Intecsea, Technip, and Qatar Gas. He served as a Visiting Professor of Offshore and Marine Engineering at the Australian Maritime College (AMC), University of Tasmania, Australia, where he led the development of the offshore safety and risk engineering group and initiated global engagements with numerous international institutions.

Dr. Khan is the recipient of the President's Outstanding Research Award of 2012–13 at Memorial University, the President's Outstanding Research Supervision Award of 2013–14 at Memorial University, the CSChE National Award on Process Safety Management of 2014, and the Society of Petroleum Engineers award for his contribution to Health, Safety, and Risk Engineering. He has authored over 500 research articles in peer-reviewed journals and conferences on safety, risk, and reliability engineering. He has authored five books on the subject area. He is the Editor of the Journal of Process Safety and Environmental Protection, Safety in Extreme Environment, and ASME Part A (Risk and Uncertainty Analysis). He regularly offers training programs/workshops on safety and risk engineering in various locations, including St. John's, Chennai, Dubai, Beijing, Aberdeen, Cape Town, Doha, and Kuala Lumpur.
